Comment 58 for bug 781931

Hi,
yes I agree this bug is very annoying (I use Unity2D myself every day) and I do wish we had it fixed by now, but having spent time investigating it, the cause is not trivial (or else kick-myself obvious).

As Unity2D is being superseded by Unity for all users in Quantal, we are not committing any developer resources to Unity2D except in the cases of critical bugs (crashers, security holes..) for the Precise LTS. This unfortunately means that important usability bugs like this will not be attempted by us any more.

So this is where I must ask for community involvement. If you care for this project and want to improve it for all other users, take a bug and try to fix it. Community fixes will be accepted with real pleasure, and we'll do our best to offer help and advice on #ubuntu-unity IRC channel.

Thanks
-G
